Hey everyone

I was reading HPI magazine and came accross a japanese auction site where you can buy all sorts of jap

cars such as gtst's gtr's ect ect...

So i went to their web site www.isicar.com. Afte looking at all of their cars on

auction for low prices i discovered that there arn't any extra fees to ship the car out of japan but didn't

mention any cost involved in the car arriving in melbourne. Firstly what is and who are RAWS holders????

Does anyone know the fees involved in bringing a car into melbourne and is there still such thing as getting

an Australian Complience for the car that's imported?

Also what has to be done to the car if it is modofied so that i can drive it on the road (here in OZ land)???

Cheers ROB

The process has been described several times in this forum.

Read this link about importing cars into Australia:

http://www.dotars.gov.au/transport/safety/.../importing.aspx

A RAWS is a workshop who can comply your car. This basically entails making modifications to ensure it complies with Australian safety standards. Each RAWS can comply specific models of cars. You need to search for one who can comply the car you are looking for:

http://raws.dotars.gov.au/rawswebpublic/RAWPubSearch.asp

Once the car lands in Australia, you need to arrange a Customs broker to complete Customs /Quarantine inspections, and to pay the required GST and Duties applicable for imported cars.

The car then goes to a RAWS, who carry out the compliance work. Following that, you can register the car.

J-Spec has a page which describes the whole process too:

      Welcome. This is not really true. We have a whole forum here just for the NA shitboxen. And they are not very different from the turbo shitboxen. Just weaker brakes and gearboxes, and no LSD, for the most part.

      I'm pretty sure it has an 040 in it @Duncan Also reading up, that turbo should top out at 250 as you first thought. It will be interesting to see how early it chokes due to the changes in the head too

      Yeah confirmed they are Nismo 555s, found the boxes in the spares with the factory injectors in. Yeah the AAC has been relocated to allow reuse of the factory brake booster line, and yes confirmed it has a 1 way valve in it. Unfortunately the one on the car is cracked, I'll need to replace it. Pretty sure I've got all the AAC plumbing correct in my previous post, but I am going to source some new fittings with 90o angles to help with the hose routing and also one really specific moulded shape for the AAC intake to cold start hose (will raid the back of our local repco when I get a chance and work out some combo that works) One of the big things I learned in the GTR is you need to be able to get your hands all around the bay when something goes wrong. I've done a bunch of re-routing now and it should be much more practical now. Also got the BOV mount re TIG-ed by the local engineering shop so that should be good to go now. Never got to the fuel pump because of some life stuff today, but will pull it to confirm it is suitable for 300rwkw when I get a chance

      Hello everyone, I am from Malta and have recently bought myself a fully stock 1992 Nissan Skyline GTS. It has the RB20DE engine and thus is NA. Unfortunately, not a lot of information can be found online related to the GTS, unlike the information for GTS-T and GTR variants. Apart of the Skyline, I also got a 1984 Porsche 924 2.0l NA and a 2002 Renault Clio 1.5DCi for everyday use. Excited to be apart of the community and perhaps get better information on cars such as the GTS.

      The fuel pump bracket just slides straight up.  Below is a pic I stole off a site. But basically put hand in for fuel pump, wiggle it all about a bit while pulling up.
